… To Have Disappeared Without A Trace 155 Million Years Ago


"New research may have just solved the 155-million-year-old mystery of what happened to a small, lost continent that once broke off from northwestern Australia.


Scientists have suspected for some time that this landmass, known as Argoland, divorced itself from the Australian continent, thanks to evidence of a deep ocean void off the northwest coast of Australia. But after that, the trail went cold…"

Was it really lost, or did it run away?

Dinosaurs took it and ran.

Did they check their pockets first? Lost things are often hiding in pockets.

I think that the Aussies stole it – just sayin'

The Aussies stole it? C'mon … it's not like they have a criminal history or anything.

I'm sure it's technically a continent in the way that Pluto is technically not a planet, but it's smaller than New Zealand.

Call me when they discover ruins.

To Have Disappeared Without A Trace
If it didn't leave a trace then how did they find it????

divorced itself from the Australian continent
I hope Australia does not have to pay back alimony and child support.

I hope they find some of my lost socks there too.

Thanks. SWMBO told me that the dozen divorce jokes I had about that weren't funny.

I've heard similar on the History, Travel Channels, etc. Some interesting discoveries and theories. Some believe based on these and other findings that Man is much older than they thought we were. And there may have been an advanced civilization(s) millions of years ago. We never heard about.

But since with global warming according to some of our elected and appointed leader(?) we will all be dead in a few more years. Because of climate change … ☠

Well I'm 67 … I had a good run … 💀

Legion 4,
One of my pet theories exactly. There were civilizations thousands of years earlier than we think.

Yes as I said … more and more we are finding out things that point to that.
